The title 'Humare Ram' stirs powerful emotions that often defy simple description. Yet poet and lyricist Aalok Shrivastav has masterfully captured these feelings through his creative work. His contributions to the theatrical production 'Humare Ram' beautifully express every sentiment and chapter of the Ramayana.
Ashutosh Rana Applauds Aalok Shrivastav's Exceptional Talent
Ashutosh Rana, the Bollywood actor and author who portrays Ravan in the play, recently shared his admiration for Shrivastav's writing. During an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Rana highlighted Shrivastav's unique creative flair.
"Aalok is truly extraordinary," Rana stated. "If you examine 'Humare Ram', you will find the Hindi poetic adaptation of 'Shiv Tandav Stotram' written by Aalok himself."
Rana continued with genuine appreciation. "Aalok belongs to that rare group of contemporary writers who pen genuine emotions. His language carries deep feeling and resonance."
Rahull R Bhuchar Shares Behind-the-Scenes Story
Rahull R Bhuchar, who plays Lord Ram in the production, recounted an interesting anecdote about the creation of Ravan's song 'Dashanan'. Bhuchar explained how Shrivastav's quick thinking solved a creative challenge.
"When Ashutosh Rana ji was cast as Ravan, we needed a song that would perfectly suit his character," Bhuchar recalled. "I approached Aalok Shrivastav with this request. Remarkably, he wrote four lines that very same night."
Bhuchar described the immediate impact of Shrivastav's work. "The moment he recited that rap, I knew we had found the perfect song for Dashanan. When I asked who would sing it, he suggested Kailash Kher, who ultimately performed the piece."
